Saw on a CNN report where they featured a survey which showed that more than half of the respondents said that they are more afraid of recession than another terror attack on U.S. soil. The report went on to say that most still consider terror attacks as still isolated cases. I find these interesting and at the same time it reflects what do we value most. 

It shows we value more our families, that if recession comes full bloom, we won't have enough money to support our families, that mortgage rates would sky-rocket and we won't have a roof over our children's heads. 

But if the survey was done on a different country, for example, in Iraq,  I think people would fear terror attacks rather than recession.  Their economic state is something they don't dwell upon for they live poorly compared to us here in America, their struggle to actually live another day is stronger than us.

Bottom line, it all comes down to where we live and the values we live for.
